Will not fit 2003 FZ 1

VTX1300S short fit 1/4"

I bought this seat for my 2004 VTX1300S Honda. The seat itself is great, I like it, the wife likes it! But after only riding for two weeks, the bracket has come off the factory rivets. In my opinion the adjustment slot should be about a 1/4" longer so that the seat fits snug at the tank, and still able to thread the bolt at the rear of the seat. Now I have a great seat but no bracket, can't use the seat until I figure a correction.
